1838 Parker Oregon Territory

1838 Parker Oregon Territory

         This beautiful reproduction of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved map of the “Oregon Territory” was first published by Samuel Parker in his Journal of an Exploring Tour Beyond the Rocky Mountains… as an account of his travels with a fur trading party from Council Bluffs to Walla Walla, Washington, in 1838. This important map of the Northwest is among the first to cover the entire country from Iowa to the Pacific as well as southwestern Canada. The locations of Indian tribes and nations are noted; the major settlement is “Ft. George or Astoria” at the mouth of the Columbia River. Parker’s map was instigational in inspiring the great movement of immigrants to settle in the Oregon Territory in the 1840’s and “is the earliest map of the Oregon interior with any pretense to accuracy”.

What is a Mirrored Print & Gallery Wrap?

Canvas for Gallery Wrap

Take a good look at your print. The edges are mirrored, so that, the complete image is shown on the face of the frame once it is wrapped. In other words, You don’t lose any of the artwork. Our 2½” mirrored borders, allow your finished product to have a variety of thickness up to 2” deep. Therefore, make sure you choose an experienced framer who can make the frame to the exact specs of your custom print.

Hand-made Rattan Frames

Though the design has changed over the years, we commission these Rattan frames through a small family owned company in The Philippines. Your frame is the result of trial and error of the last 20 years! Rattan is a vine-like Palm that requires forest cover in order to thrive. Rattan grows throughout the jungle for over a quarter of a mile. Its trunk can span a diameter of over two inches down to the thickness of a human hair. The harvester’s collection process is performed by hand by a simple machete. Ultimately, the rattan vine cannot survive without the forest. Rattan quickly regenerates. As a result, this method of harvesting protects the destruction of the forest.
